Who is the prime suspect Yassin S.

A contact in Canada? The first elements of the investigation have established that he had sent his macabre selfie to a Canadian number. The location of the contact is not as long established, this number can be a simple relay before rebounding to another destination. Canada has already assured France of its cooperation in the investigation to find the recipient’s selfie. They could then trace the call or locate the phone.

For Eric Ciotti, “we are late for a war” MP (Republicans) Alpes-Maritimes, the maximum vigilance in Rhône-Alpes and strengthening of sensitive sites after the attack Friday in Isère “are part of a communication strategy” because “we are late for a war.” In an interview with JDD, Eric Ciotti, who chaired the parliamentary commission of inquiry on jihadist dies, feels the government does not provide that “a response which is more psychological than practical.” “We must be frank to say that we can not monitor all of the sites that France could be a threat, because it would require mobilizing hundreds of thousands of men. (…) Because what works in prevention of terrorism is detecting those who pose a threat, their close monitoring and the ability to prevent them from passing the act. But c ‘Here we have a deficit cruel means. We are behind a war, “he says.

“Today, measure that we are at war and that this requires means of another magnitude. I regret that the Government has no comprehensive strategy for fight against terrorism, both in the country and outside, “said Eric Ciotti yet.
